Great value rod for the price!I've had this rod for 2 months. I'm considering buying another to replace the Wright & McGill rod I broke. The action is fast enough to be considered "fast". I've fished with it just about every day and put it through its paces. Caught a lot of bass with this one. Still intact, I am growing more in love with it because it's become a good all-around rod for all types of bait; finesse, moving, flipping and pitching. Better grip, power and action than quite a few other name brands without the hefty price tag.

Like a cue stick, no tip actionRated as a fast action, it has slow action. Bends entire length of blank. I was astonished at the poor quality control.

Probably one of my favoritesThis Rod is amazing. I have had several of them. I had an issue with one of them where the Eyelet Cracked and needed replacing. But besides that, a great all around rod

Holds its weightBought this last night and it haant let me down like the berkleg cherry wood hd did, I was skeptical about the single piece but it feels so much more whole and smoother, very light weight, perfect for 30 size or smaller reel, definitly would recommend this to a buddy .
